Saturday
Saturday was Blountstown's Annual Christmas on the Square. Vendors can set up booth's to sell crafts, food and other new items. I set up a stand with my Tupperware stock. Was able to sell a few items! I was right next to the "entertainment stage" this year!
Some was good, some not so good...but this group was GOOD!!! Can you imagine that many people in your church being able to play drums and play them well!?? The guy in the front on the right was their leader. He was funny! 
They had these CUTE little ones up on the stage. Most of them weren't keeping rhythm, but it still let them feel like they were a part of the show!
I got smoked out and blown away till the day was over. Some guys set up next to me with a smoker. They were making ribs and chicken. While it all smelled so yummy, the smoke got to be too much! Then a huge gust of wind lifted my tent up and knocked a bunch of stuff over. I decided that was my cue to shut it down!
Dan and the kids were there to bring me lunch and were a huge help in getting things packed up.After I got home, I tried to finish up a few things that needed to be done yet before Sunday. My back was so tight, so I laid on the floor for Dan to give me a back rub...it felt so good and I fell asleep for a few minutes!
It didn't really revive my energy though....I was really behind on sleep and I knew this was going to be another late night!At 4:30 we met others from our homeschool group on the town square to watch the Christmas Parade.
Anna sharing her cotton candy with Tamara.....
Sam enjoyed his cotton candy to the fullest!!
He had himself a blue goatee!
Just a few shots of the parade....
Mr. Smith playing the drums~
The famous Christmas bus driven by our local Realtor, Danny Ryals.
After the parade our family and Rachel and Hannah Smith went to the Pioneer Village. Rachel and Hannah were helping serve food and we joined others from our church to sing Christmas carols on the porch of one of the old homes.
This is a newly renovated building that used to be beside the High School in town. This was the first time it was opened to the public!
Loved the fireplace!!
Loved the bag lights they had along the walk outside....I'd like some of those at my house!!
Red Oak carolers....
Hannah serving up some hot soup!
Rachel and her friend Karah and Miss Lawanna served hot cider! Mmmm!!
After leaving the Settlement, we went to join our homeschool group again at Roy & Kay Pickron's home. After eating supper, the ladies cleaned up the kitchen.
Patty wasn't smiling for the first picture, so we had to try again!
The girls played with Polly Pockets for awhile....
Some hung out around the campfire....
And some were acting out a battle.....I almost stumbled across this wounded soldier in the dark!
This was their headquarters, I think!
After families started leaving, making it harder for them to continue their "play", the kids moved inside and broke out Apples to Apples.
And then played some Band Hero.....
Katherine singing pretty.....
We brought Dylan along home overnight and then Sunday a few other of Danny's friends joined us after church for an afternoon birthday party.
We had a good Saturday, full but good!
Will have another post soon of the Sunday b-day party....
